Chapter 119: The walking silver note was taken away
The Old Appraiser's suggestion to Chen Guanlou was actually to wait for the rabbit.
This is a stupid method, but it is also a good method. If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will come to the mountain.
Clearly, he ruined Qi Laoda's business last time, so Qi Laoda must be extremely angry. Naturally, he is not willing to have his good deeds ruined by a nameless hero. He sent his men to the capital city to find out the identity and background of the nameless hero to avenge this grudge.
This is good! It fits his wishes.
He was worried about not finding Qi Laoda, and people sent themselves to his door; if he didn't make good use of this opportunity, he would have failed the gift from Heaven.
When he left, he still left two silver notes, totaling fifty taels. This is the rule, this is the business. There is coming and going, everyone follows the rules, and there is a possibility of continued cooperation next time.
The Old Appraiser didn't decline and accepted the silver notes.
Going down to the second floor, without any accident, Chen Guanlou saw Lu Datou in the crowd.
Lu Datou had already lost his eyes red, took off his clothes, and sweat was dripping from his body.
Chen Guanlou walked up silently, endured the stench, and whispered in Lu Datou's ear: "Bet big!"
Lu Datou's whole mind was on the gambling game, and he didn't look back at all. Once he heard someone say bet big, in his heart, he inexplicably believed the other party and bet all his last bit of money on big.
"Open! Open! Open!"
A group of old gamblers plus those who had no money and could only join in the fun, the sound was so loud that the roof was almost lifted.
The dealer opened the board, and it was indeed big.
Lu Datou won and turned over! He was so happy that he danced and jumped higher than anyone else.
He looked back to find the person who suggested he bet big, looking around, his eyes very confused—where are the people? Where are the people? The person who gave him the move just now, how could the person disappear in the blink of an eye?
A good person. Doing good deeds without leaving a name, a great good person. He originally planned to share some silver with the other party, at least treat the other party to a meal. Now he saved a meal of wine money. Forget it, tomorrow he would just treat Chen Guanlou to a drink.
After turning around, Chen Guanlou still couldn't escape Lu Datou's invitation to drink; it had to be said that this was truly fate, destined.
The days in the Heavenly Prison are routine, boring, uninteresting, and dull, unless there is money.
Recently, the prison guards of the Jia-character prison in the Heavenly Prison have been very rich. One by one, they are beaming with joy, just like the New Year.
Every time they see Chen Guanlou, the prison guards will definitely stop, bow respectfully, and say hello, and it is from the heart. Everyone is grateful for the clever trick Chen Guanlou thought of, allowing everyone to make a lot of money.
Chen Guanlou waved his hand, signaling the prison guards to go to work and not think about money all day long. As long as things are handled well, money will naturally fall into everyone's pockets.
The prison guards laughed and said, "Chen Tou is right, we will definitely work well and not fail Chen Tou's expectations."
Chen Guanlou kicked out, and the prison guards were all honest. Those who worked worked, and those who fished continued to fish.
He thought it was an ordinary afternoon, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard's henchmen suddenly broke into the Heavenly Prison like wolves and tigers. Whoever dared to block the road was hit with a stick.
The beaten prison guards could only admit their bad luck, took a beating for nothing, didn't even dare to shout, and hid on the side shivering. This is the fame of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It can shake children to cry at night, and it can also make the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison silent, not daring to move.
Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan chased after the Embroidered Uniform Guard, sweating profusely but helpless. He watched helplessly as the Embroidered Uniform Guard showed off their power on the territory of the Heavenly Prison, and he couldn't do anything to them. He didn't even dare to say a harsh word.
Seeing him so cowardly and weak, the prison guards were all scolding him in their hearts for being a coward and a softie. But on the surface, they were as respectful as usual, not daring to reveal the slightest real emotion, for fear of being hated by Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan.
"What's going on?" Chen Guanlou asked Xiao Jin, the old oil stick beside him.
Xiao Jin told him: "It seems the Embroidered Uniform Guard wants to interrogate prisoners."
Even if they want to interrogate prisoners, why make such a big fuss? Going to a brother's yamen to show off—what kind of skill is that?
Chen Guanlou couldn't stand the Embroidered Uniform Guard's arrogant behavior, and all the prison guards couldn't stand it either.
He now understands why the Embroidered Uniform Guard's reputation is so bad. Everyone who mentions the Embroidered Uniform Guard is shouting to fight and kill. Especially the censor officials, who wish the old Emperor would disband the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Of course, this is a dream; only in a dream can it be realized.
From the day the Embroidered Uniform Guard was established, their identity was the Son of Heaven's hunting dog, which meant they could never be disbanded.
This is also the confidence and capital of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's arrogance. Since they are the Son of Heaven's hunting dogs, without the Son of Heaven's words, who dares to move the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and who can investigate the Embroidered Uniform Guard? What can the censor officials' impeachment do to them?
As long as the old Emperor doesn't speak, even if the censor officials' impeachment memorials fill a whole room, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is still that Embroidered Uniform Guard. Not a single hair of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's people will fall off? With this confidence, arrogance is inevitable.
The prisoners the Embroidered Uniform Guard wants to interrogate are those few small officials from the Imperial Treasury Department. But why make such a big fuss for just a few small officials? Running to a brother's government office to show off.
The Imperial Treasury Department officials saw the Embroidered Uniform Guard's henchmen, like a mouse seeing a cat, one by one trembling with their legs, their faces pale. They grabbed the prison cell bars and refused to let go.
"Let me go! Let me go! I have money, I'll pay, I'll pay voluntarily. I'll explain everything, I don't want to go to the Imperial Prison, I don't want to go to the Imperial Prison."
Several officials screamed miserably; the Imperial Prison is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den—how could they be well after entering the Imperial Prison? The few officials of the Imperial Treasury Department cried as if their father and mother had died; it was pitiful.
The prison guards of the Heavenly Prison saw this, and one by one showed expressions of unbearable pity.
They are all masters, they are all wealthy masters! Can't you be gentler to them? They are really easy to talk to, and they pay very quickly. Official masters, the prison guards still wanted to serve them, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't give them a chance.
Chen Guanlou was not polite; he raised his foot and kicked the prison guards one by one, "What are you doing? What are you doing? First, straighten out your identity. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is interrogating prisoners; this is their duty. You all show expressions of unbearable pity—what do you want to do? Are you questioning the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
Prison guards:...
Nothing to say.
The prison guards all had crying faces. The golden rice bowl was taken away, which meant that income was beaten back to its original shape. How can these days be lived? The Embroidered Uniform Guard just can't stand the Heavenly Prison's days being good. Hey, the Heavenly Prison has no status.
Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan's mood was the worst, and his heart was full of hatred!
Money! Money! Money! These are all walking silver notes; how can they be interrogated just like that? They didn't even say hello in advance. If they had reminded him a day earlier, he could have knocked out more money.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard is too hateful! He hadn't made enough money, and they took the Imperial Treasury Department officials away, clearly bullying the Heavenly Prison for having no one.
He ran to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan and asked with a miserable face: "What should we do now?"
Jiang Jiang Yucheng Fan didn't give him a good look and said angrily: "What to do? Cold mix!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard came to take people; besides cooperating, he couldn't do anything. He was still worrying about who to knock money from in the future without these prisoners. He had just promised his concubine to prepare a set of head ornaments. ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
